So you limit what a Free player can earn, but they can still play. Will help keep the servers full and keep games more interesting.
Would people object? It would make it similar to Fortnite really.

Except fortnite probably cost a fraction of what this cost to design, develop and release

Yeah. If you think the graphics between the two are even comparable, you may need your eyes checked lol.

We need a Tier System for the Heroes. It would justify the "op-ness" of Vader over Han and Chewbacca. It would cost much more to unlock Vader, and would require you to save a lot more than for other heroes and vehicles, but it would be rewarding in the end...

The explosion on the forums if they made this game free would be epic.

And then the mods are forced to ban nigh everyone lol.

Maybe they could do that like they did with PSPlus at some point near the end of the games life, when all post launch content has been out for months, and it's nearing the end of its life with a new game coming out soon. Now? Are you freaking kidding me, that's probably the worst thing they could do. Ok, they'd get a lot of new players, but there's been a recent influx of new players (at least, there has been on PS4). The only way I can imagine this working is as a sort of trial, where you get 10 hours or so of access to limited modes, maybe you can't earn credits or spend battle points or something. At this point in the games life, that is literally the only way this would be a reasonable business strategy.
